What's happening peeps! Happy New Year! I have been hard at it putting together a clean, green, delivery service machine! I have this yunormous, sweeping, and wonderful vision for an innovative delivery business model...really...it's the future--I can really feel it!
I need to:
- Acquire a business license with my city
- Find somebody to do my website, logo (trademarked), fliers, business cards, etc...
- Patent my business model idea
- Find some investors
- Find an attorney that will get the business legit
I need to know how my felony convictions will effect my business license application (should I put it in someone else's name or a fictitious name...is that possible?)I already have everything I need to do the work. I have the logo concept in my head, I just need someone who can put it on the canvas. I have my business model all worked out, I just need somebody to fine tune it. I have just barely enough to launch, but another couple of grand would really kick it off nicely, so I need some investment for a piece of the pie...and it's gonna be a yuge pie! Finally, how do I get this all legit so no one tries a hostile takeover or tries to take my business name or any such nasty thing?
I am not a business major at all...I took a business course a while back, but I don't remember much, but what I do have is a fantastic idea and the capability to carry it out.
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
*Please don't ask about any specifics, because I have not yet secured the trademarks, patents, and whatever else needs to be secured. If you know this stuff and you want to help me out with general information about it, your responses are more than welcome...you will be a great blessing to me, as I do not have the time to research all of this stuff, nor do I have an assistant. Yah bless you a thousand fold!
**Eventually, or even now, (don't know when/how to do it) I want to make this venture into a nonprofit organization...so. Thanks!
**I have been communicating with a marketing firm and they have given me a quote of $1,000 for Website, trade marked logo, fliers, business cards, etc...Is this the going rate?
